Marcelo does not use many foot locks, although you will sometimes see him do a killer cross straight ankle/foot lock. They don't fit into his overall philosophy of jiu-jitsu. I'm pretty sure his opinion is rare in that case, but he mostly likes to focus both arms on the neck, rather than attacking a more powerful limb like the leg. His words, not mine. He does have a beautiful heel hook win at  ADCC 2005 though.

I think his thoughts are that he doesn't really like them. Any sub that doesn't work as well on bigger guys he's not a fan of. Footlocks, arm in chokes, kimuras etc..

But I'm sure in comp he uses them if they're there (Rico Rodriguez Heel Hook and Leo Veira traingle come to mind)

i thought the same, I guess he does not want to be as aggressive..

Anyone know what Marcelo's thoughts are on foot looks? He always seems to skip them over, even when he clearly has them.
